Dan Parmer

Dan Parmer is a husband, father, and lifelong Chicagoan living in Ravenswood. As a 47th Ward Precinct Captain and member of the International Union of Operating Engineers Local 399, he is seasoned in political action, organizing, and engaging voters, including recent work helping to pass the Workers’ Rights Amendment! Dan is passionate about ranked choice voting because, “It will level the playing field for marginalized candidates, empower voters by giving them more freedom of choice, and combat the polarization and divisiveness that is eroding our democracy.”

Corina Schusheim

Corina Schusheim has been a Chicagoan most of her adult life and lives in Albany Park.  She is a software developer and has lent her skills to supporting the performing arts in years past.  She served on the Board of Directors for The Saints, Volunteers for the Performing Arts from 2012-2016.  Corina is passionate about ranked choice voting because she sees the limitations of our current system and how it often leaves voters with no good choices, compelling them to vote against a candidate instead of for one they truly support.  “There is no opening for any party outside the current duopoly. My goal is to help change that.”
